We would like to thank Relief in Need Bromyard and The Eveson Charitable Foundation for making March a great month for us funding wise. We learned that both trusts have made us awards totalling £12,000.  Relief in Need is a local charity that allows us to offer much needed support to children and families directly and we are very pleased to continue to receive their support.

The Eveson Charitable Foundation have awarded us £10,000 for 2019-20 as a contribution towards the services we offer at the Centre and we are very grateful for this generous contribution.

If you would like to support us you can do so by using the Donate button on the home page of the website or by becoming a Friends of Hope member. Your annual membership entitles you to a discount when visiting our child and family friendly cafe upstairs at the Hope Centre.  Forms are available in reception at the Centre or by asking at reception. Alternatively if you visit our Friends of Hope page you will find more info.

From all of us at the Centre we would like to wish everyone “Merry Christmas”.  The Centre will be closed between Christmas and New Year (for opening and closing times please see our What’s On page ) and we look forward to welcoming you back in 2019.  Thank you to everyone who has visited us, attended our groups and our fundraising events. We are grateful for your support and it is hugely motivating to everyone who works here so a big thank you from us all.

Today we are offering all our customers at Oscar’s Café a free top up of their hot drink – our latest promotion called Top up Tuesday!  Netti and their team would like to thank all their customers for their custom and support by offering a free top up with your hot drink.  The café has seen lots of new faces recently too and we are really pleased that more and more people are getting to know about the Café thanks to our promotions and activities.

Our free soft play area is also very popular and recently we have started a new offer of Craft Café events.  Last week we welcomed Glazydays from Ledbury to the Centre who ran a pottery workshop upstairs in Oscar’s.  After the success of the recent poppy making, Oscar’s will run regular craft events upstairs where children and families can relax together doing something creative.  Everyone welcome and please check out our twitter and facebook pages for details.

Next week the café will be used for our Christmas Fayre and will be serving some light Christmassy refreshments for those visiting.  We look forward to seeing you there!  29th November 6pm with the official opening by the Mayor and Mayoress of Bromyard.
